What would you do if your house and all your possessions burned down? I recently met Pastor Sam & Heather Walker from Paradise, California . Pastor Sam leads Congregation Harei Yeshua in Paradise, CA. The Walkers lost their home in the recent fires and are still praising the Lord. Their life has been turned upside down yet they still want to serve Adonai with their whole heart. At this time they are waiting to find out if their building and Torah scroll are safe. Our prayers are with them and all the families that were affected by the raging fires.

UPDATE: The building and Torah Scroll were saved! Hallelujah!

I had the opportunity to interview Pastor Sam and Heather recently when we attended a Messianic Leaders Training in Phoenix, Arizona.

Nothing happens by coincidence! I went to a women's retreat in Savannah and "happened" to sit at the same table as Sherri Friedlander and her two adorable daughters. I learned about "The Strong Road" radio program, hosted by Sherri, her husband and a friend and we had a wonderful time of fellowship.

Besides The Strong Road they are founders of Be One Ministries.

Here is their story in their own words:

Our journey together began at the University of Georgia. We
met and dated throughout college and were married a month after graduation. We
each received a BS in Hospitality Management in 1990. After graduation, we
dedicated the first year of our marriage to a leadership program called
Master's Commission in Phoenix, Arizona. We both received a Christian Worker's License and
since, I (Jeff) received an ordination by both the Assembly of God International Fellowship as a minister
and the International Alliance of Messianic Congregation and Synagogues (IAMCS)
as a Messianic Rabbi.

We have worked hard to build our life together with
a dedication to full-time service for the Kingdom of God.
We have 4 children, Morgan, Ben, Amanda, and Rachel, who we raised to have
a passion for God and a joy in their spirit. Our dinner table has
always been filled with laughter, endless movie quotes and an extra seat
for the many guests who have joined us.

Be One Ministries was born out of our desire to be a voice
of unity in the Body of Messiah. We see the enemy has a plan to divide the body
and we strive to do everything we can to stop that.

Sherri grew up in a Gentile home, came to love the Jewish people and together she and her husband Jeff have a great ministry together. Hear her wonderful story and enjoy the music of Marty Goetz, Sally Klein O'Connor, Joshua Aaron, Rachel Boskey,Corry Bell, Marty Goetz, Baht Rivka Whitten, Jonathan Settel and The Scheps.
